Surprised by the reply, Lola raised an eyebrow.
John didn’t know that Lola was waiting for him this evening. He intended to come over to tell Logan about the
information Isabelle had shared with him and discuss their next move.
However, he didn’t think he should share this information with Lola because the more she knew, the harder it was
for him to destroy the Baileys, even though he was hesitating whether he wanted to do this. Considering Isabelle to
be a friend, he didn’t really want the Baileys to end up in a miserable state.
In a polite manner, John nodded and said, “Hi.”
After they were seated, the atmosphere was rather awkward because Logan wasn’t there. It was until then did Lola

Strictly speaking, she and John were not close friends, and the information he had gathered was confidential, so it
wasn’t probable that he would share this information with her. Hence, there was nothing much they could talk
about currently.
Pursing her lips, she had a feeling that her meeting with John on this day wouldn’t be fruitful.
As expected, John only mentioned what happened when the shadow bank was busted and never revealed any
useful information. When he finished talking, he came up with an excuse that since his wife was pregnant, he had
to go home early so that she wouldn’t worry about him.
In fact, this excuse wasn’t made up because his wife was indeed pregnant.
Nevertheless, Lola already expected that this would be the outcome, so she just nodded and said, “Alright. It’s
getting late. I have to leave as well.”
Following that, they stepped out of the clubhouse together. John had wanted to send her home, but she refused his
offer because she was going somewhere else.
Since she had said so, John nodded and turned to leave. After John’s car was out of sight, Lola gave it a thought and
headed for the nearest shopping mall. Then, she arrived somewhere near the theater in the mall and recalled that
Logan was watching a movie with his girlfriend here. Perhaps she was trying to embarrass Logan, hence she
reached for the theater, even though she wasn’t even sure why she was doing this. However, the movie had
already started. Lola took a look at the time and deduced that the movie should be ending soon because Logan had
left the clubhouse for a long time. Then, she went to buy some snacks and kept walking around. Thirty minutes

later, she was proven right as Logan and a woman were coming out of the theater. With a snort, Lola walked over
and said, “Logan, what a coincidence.” Unlike other couples, Logan and the woman were some distance away as
they were walking. Seeing Lola, he was startled. As though he had forgotten that his girlfriend was just beside him,
he strode toward Lola and asked, “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be having a discussion with John at
the clubhouse?” Hearing this, Lola couldn’t contain her urge and landed a slap on his shoulder. “I’m glad you asked!
John and I were not close, so how were we even going to talk about such a serious issue? You—” Before she could
finish her words, Jasmine Xanthos came over and interrupted with a smile, “Logan, is she your friend? Please
introduce her to me.” Then, Lola turned to look at the woman beside Logan. The woman appeared to be young,
and her smile was infectious. She seems like a really nice girl.
